"Yes, Hua Fu just came back from outside, and she heard the queen mother's palace maid Liuli say that the queen mother personally pointed out the second girl of the Shang family to the third young master." Sister-in-law He smiled.

"The second girl of the Shang family? Third Young Master? Shu E muttered and repeated, as if she didn't hear it.

"Didn't the third young master already reject the Shang family's affairs?" Lilac remembered Shang Cairen's contemptuous and arrogant appearance towards him, and he was unhappy in his heart, so he interjected on the side. Sister-in-law He slightly turned her mouth towards Shu E, signaling Lilac not to say much.

Between Shu'e and Rannuo, what is there, Sister-in-law He doesn't know. But she has been serving in Cao's Mansion for many years, and she has experienced too much, and she has also noticed something. The young master stopped his wife and prevented him from examining Shu'e; When Shu E entered the palace, the young master hurriedly sent a pair of hairpins, and Shu E carried them every day. These things are not big or small, but between them, there will never be nothing.

Sister-in-law He could only pretend that she didn't know anything, and served Shu'e for more than two months, and she knew that Shu'e was very sensible. I just hope that she understands the pros and cons, young master, after all, young master; And she is the lady of the Imperial County, but at the same time, she is also Cao Li, Cao You's sister. Regardless of whether or not you can go back to your home, when you will return home, there are some hopes, but you can't count on them after all.

I saw Shu E smile slightly: "That's very good, the Queen Mother is in charge herself, and she wants to come to the third young ...... The third brother can't refuse anymore. ”

Sister-in-law He heard the cleverness of Bing Xue in this sentence, but she did not hear the helplessness in the words. The third young master, he no longer refuses, it's not that he won't, it's not that he doesn't dare, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he can't.

Even, Shu E didn't ask again why the Queen Mother would intervene in this matter.

Shu E held the jade cup in her hand, looking up at the top of the bamboo, the sun was so bright and dazzling, but she was unwilling to take her eyes off for a moment. I heard that when the summer drought comes, the scorching sun can dry the rivers and lakes and dry the springs, but why can't the tears in my eyes be dried?

Suddenly hearing the sound of bamboo leaves not far away, Shu E was taken aback, hurriedly put away the folding fan, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" After asking, I secretly regretted it in my heart, maybe it was just someone passing by, and my own exit attracted my attention.

It's just that the words have been spoken, but they can't be taken back. Shu E's heart was in a mess, and there were still tears on her face, but she didn't think to wipe it off, let alone that there were still wine bottles and glasses on the ground, but she just stood still.

I saw a person turn out from behind the bamboo forest, also a hand-cranked folding fan. The light robe is slowly strapped, although the clothes are just ordinary styles, but they look elegant and pleasant, and the corner of the robe is a piece of white jade, decorated with red tape, moving with the footsteps. When the man saw Shu E, he was slightly stunned, and then closed the folding fan in his hand.

Shu E's tearful eyes only knew that the person who came from the road was a man, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look, but she saw the corners of his lake-blue robe, clearly embroidered with clusters of bamboo with silver silk threads. Although only one kind of embroidery thread is used, the embroidery is extremely fine, and it seems to be no less than the bamboo embroidered by Huafu with several shades of green thread.

Shu E was taken aback in her heart, suddenly raised her head, and couldn't help blurting out: "Third Young Master!" ”

When he looked at it again, he also saw that the person in front of him was not the same as the third young master. Although both of them are generally handsome and slim, they are different after all.

The third young master's eyes are bright and clear as a spring, but there is a faint kind of rebellious hermit wild air, when facing himself, he is always gentle and amiable, and occasionally has a sense of ridicule.

The eyes of the person in front of him are deep to the extreme, generous to the extreme, encompassing all the changes that gather and scatter and all the prosperity of sheng flute singing and dancing, leaving only calm and gentle.

Although I have never seen these eyes, I have vaguely seen this face a few times. Shu E was so shocked that she took a step back, and even forgot to salute, but lost her voice a little: "Your Majesty." ”

The man nodded, smiled, and said, "You remember me." ”

If she hadn't seen this face in the morning, if she hadn't heard this voice in Qingshou Palace, Shu E would almost not believe that the person in front of her was the emperor, let alone that the emperor was talking to her, and she also called herself "me".

In the Song Dynasty, the queen, the princess, the princess, the concubine and others often used "I" to call themselves when they spoke, which is not surprising, although the emperor sometimes used this to call himself, but after all, the identity of the other party is extremely high.

Shu E was shocked in her heart, three glasses of old wine made her feel that her cheeks were hot, and her cheeks must be crimson when she thought about it, but she didn't dare to touch it with her hands. At this time, when I saw the emperor at first glance, I was shocked, most of the wine was gone, my brain suddenly sobered up, I took two steps back, blocked the wine bottle with my skirt, and bowed deeply: "The slave has seen the emperor." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand and raised it falsely, "Please get up." ”

Shu E became more and more suspicious in her heart, not knowing what the emperor's intentions were. There was a burst of confusion in my mind, and I didn't have the flexibility of my usual days. Shu E closed her eyes vigorously, but her mind was dizzy for a while, and she was secretly shocked: This wine is so strong, I never drink alcohol, I don't know if I am so small, or I want to leave as soon as possible, so as not to lose my honor in front of the emperor.

Although she thought so in her heart, how she could leave with a wine bottle and wine utensils without arousing the emperor's suspicion, Shu E really couldn't think of it. Whether the emperor had already seen himself carrying a wine bottle did not know what to say. I only hoped that the emperor would pass by here and leave immediately, but he didn't notice that the emperor had the slightest intention of leaving.

Finally, Shu E remembered that today was the emperor's Christmas, and said with a forced smile: "Why doesn't the emperor go to the banquet at this time?" ”

The emperor seemed to shake his head, but he still didn't walk away.

There was a rush of anxiety in my heart, but my brain didn't listen to the call, and I couldn't think of a way at all. Gradually, I only felt that the sunlight on the top of the bamboo was getting farther and farther away, getting colder and colder, and finally disappeared.

I only felt that the moment before I closed my eyes, the third young master was in front of me.

Shu E felt as if she was dizzy for a moment, her head hurt as if she had been hit, and it seemed to be wrapped in thick cotton, and she was extremely depressed.

"Shu'e, Shu'e......"

It was Lilac's voice, low and soft, but it came straight to my head.

"Madame, are you awake?"

It was Waffle's voice, and I had never heard her so tender.

Shu E opened her eyes, the green gauze tent on the bed, and the padded quilt with lake green silk surface on her body. Yes, exactly their own room.

But the doors and windows were closed, and the curtains were hidden, so that the hour could not be seen in a gloomy lightness.

Lilac knelt inside the bed and took one of her hands. But Waffle was gone.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Madame, she woke up."

Dowager? Shu E was taken aback in her heart, and only felt incredible.

It was the voice of the waffle, coming from the main hall, but the queen mother was not heard.

Shu'e sat up from the bed with a "sigh", got up violently, and felt dizzy in front of her. Ding Xiang hurriedly took Shu E in her arms and whispered: "Shu E, the Queen Mother has already come and has been sitting outside." ”
